Okay, whoever decided to map reviving/interacting/taking cover all to one button was a freakin' moron.

I take cover when I want to revive, revive when I want to take cover.

It's ridiculous.

It's pretty fun, but feels shallow. I did get into a lobby with 2 other cool guys and a random and we were playing Silver matches for 3 hours. Now that was amazing. We went down to Bronze for 1 match and had fun abusing the enemies while we could.

If you're playing with randoms who don't talk, then it's not nearly as fun.

This, so much. I don't know what other button they could use though. Everything else is related to combat. The context detection should be better. If I hold it, that means I want to revive. A tap means anything else.

I was personally pretty skeptic when I heard about it a few months ago, but its seems like a pretty fun mode. Hopefully the real version pulls it all together in a nice package.

YOU CAN BE A KROGAN?!? LOLOLOLOL THATS THE BEST THING IVE EVER HEARD IN A GAME EVER

Seriously people? Why does everyone think Krogan's are the strongest, most bad ass, smashiest things in all of fiction? Did we forget what a goddam orc is? Like....ugh.

Amazing? Meh. Its a horde mode with a leveling system to draw out gameplay hours. Made well? I mean, I guess, but its nothing that hasn't been done before.


Mass Effect 3 is not the messiah of the video game world.
(please don't freak out over this comment, its an alright series, but the hype is a little overboard)

And whilst we're at it, why don't we throw a proper SPESS MEHREN at the Reapers? Job done, we can all go home.

Hell, did you see the amount of collectors they fought at the end of ME2? ONE spess mehren coulud take out all of that, and at the beginning of the game too, because he doesn't need to sleep with a chicken-legged alien with no immune system.

They're also, more to the point, extremely overpowered. Which was my point.

How can anyone get excited about playing as a Krogan, because there are bigger and better things?
Because nobody was expecting to play as a goddamn [HEADING=2]SPESS MEHREN[/HEADING] in Mass Effect, and apart from Yahg, Krogans are the closest thing.

And Tali is a fine piece of xenos ass.

If you do not wish to be seen as a troll then posts such as this one where most of what you are doing is insulting people in a way that suggests you didn't even read their posts are a bad move on your part.

Sounds like exactly what you just did. Except less blunt and more condescending.
I called you out on insulting people, that's not the same thing. This is what I am talking about.

Dude don't bother, it's like trying to reason with the westboro baptist church, he thinks that he's right about everything, thinks everyone who disagrees is a moron, and he wouldn't recognize a good argument leveled against him if it danced in front of him .

*sigh*

Yes, you HAVE played it before. It IS Gears of War, it IS Halo, it IS COD, it IS Bulletstorm.

This is how Bioware products work, they don't innovate, but they polish to a fine sheen. If you don't like any of those things fine, you won't like this.me, I just sank 8 hours into the demo easily.

It's above average for a tacked on multiplayer, sort of in the same vein as Assassin's Creed as being accidentally good.

It's more so because the Mass Effect upgrade system works strangely well for a multiplayer setting. It is challenging, even on Bronze difficulty, but it's clear that some classes are more powerful than others. I am to stubborn to use anything besides the Vanguard class, which is pretty much a death sentence to you and your team if you try to Biotically Bum Rush people.

The guns are a little underpowered, with it taking a full clip from the starter assault rifle to kill the easiest bad guy. It definitely wouldn't hurt to give them a little more power.

Also, when a game requires you to have a team that makes you use team work to properly play, it gets points knocked. I don't like talking to random people, and I really doubt any of my friends are gonna get this game.

But I'm a sucker for customizable armor and color.

Just got so peeved by the multiplayer.

If you quit the game you lose all experience points you've accumulated in that game so far, so it's annoying, I HAD to leave because I had a lecture and I was penalised for it :(

Also sometimes the objectives are stupid, like kill an Atlas in 30 seconds with 2 people.
